Kestrel

Once the early morning cloud had dissipated it was a lovely, very calm, sunny and warm day; a day for lounging in the sun with few birds to distract you but what was here included the Black Redstarts (with another fledgling finding a mist-net), a Curlew, a very brief Great-spotted Woodpecker, 8 Mediterranean Gulls, 3 Sandwich Terns and 12 Swifts which were probably just visiting from town.

Ringing: Woodpigeon 1, Dunnock 1, Black Redstart 1, Starling 2, House Sparrow 3, Greenfinch 2, Goldfinch 2
